ACWA Power inks deal for development of $4b green hydrogen project in Egypt

This covers the project's second phase, with the aim of a 2 million tonnes-per-year capacity.

ACWA Power has engaged in a framework agreement with a $4b investment as part of the second phase for a major green hydrogen project in Egypt, aiming for a potential capacity of 2 million tonnes per year.

The deal follows a previous deal, signed on 7 December 2022, for the project's first phase with a capacity of 600,000 tonnes per year of green ammonia.

The new agreement is overseen by ACWA Power, The Sovereign Fund of Egypt (TSFE), the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), and the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), serving as the next step in the development of the major green hydrogen project.

“As a first mover in green hydrogen, ACWA Power is proud to bring its expertise in this new and exciting market to Egypt. Egypt is well-positioned to become one of the world’s top producers of green hydrogen and we are elated to be a part of the country’s energy transition,” Marco Arcelli, CEO of ACWA Power, said.

Currently, ACWA Power has been expanding its green hydrogen portfolio through developments for the first utility-scale plant NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia, another green hydrogen project in Uzbekistan, and other COP28-negotiated projects in Jordan and Indonesia.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
